    Implementing the Principle of the Common Good in Classical and Social Enterprises
    (Wydawnictwo KUL, 2023) Marek, Agnieszka; Kostrzewa, Sylwia; Zadroga, Adam
    This publication aims to identify similarities and differences in the ways of implementing the principle of the common good in classical (commercial) and social enterprises. Given the differences between social and classical enterprises in terms of their objectives and modes of action, it has to be stressed that the nature of the contribution they make to the common good differs in terms of subject and object. The research is embedded in Catholic social teaching (CST) because this approach presents one of the theoretically and practically richest theories of the common good, and secondly, it allows to discover modern ways of building the common good while respecting centuries of tradition and referring to philosophical classics. The common good principle in the light of CST lets us focus not only on the material but also the transcendental aims of human work and life which lead to more sustainable management. Commercial enterprises strengthen intellectual capital and expand technological and business knowledge. The profit earned by these companies essentially contributes to the good of society (taxes, investment, charity), including employees (bonuses, training). Social enterprises, on the other hand, have the advantage of investing in social capital and thus building a civil society based on mutual trust and support, especially at a local and institutional level. The profit generated by these organisations is a means to achieve social goals and not an end in itself. The results of our research show that both commercial and social enterprises contribute to common good on their own ways but the best results can be achieved when they cooperate and use all of their strengths for building the better future.

    The COVID-19 pandemic has presented the vast majority of companies with many difficulties in remaining efficient and profitable, especially whilst keeping their Staff employed. In this article, we focus on the internal aspects of CSR – corporate social responsibility directed toward employees – and show that actions taken in this area at the Dialog Semiconductor company have significantly contributed to providing a sustainable workplace during the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on the theoretical fundamentals of the concept, this article illustrates the case study containing the activities taken and employee feedback. The results show that the company has successfully managed to maintain sustainable workplaces through actions coherent with the recommendations on HR (Human Resources) management in COVID-19 pandemic. Pandemia COVID-19 pokazała, że wiele firm musiało zmierzyć się z trudnościami, aby mimo kryzysu, działać efektywnie a jednocześnie zminimalizować ryzyko redukcji kadry pracowniczej. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest ukazanie wpływu działań z zakresu wewnętrznego CSR podejmowanych przez Dialog Semiconductor, aby zapewnić zrównoważone miejsca pracy w czasie pandemii. Na bazie teoretycznych rozważań i analizy literatury prezentujemy studium przypadku zawierające szereg aktywności badanej organizacji oraz informację zwrotną od pracowników uzyskaną poprzez przeprowadzenie badań ankietowych.
